Pros

I'm working with some of the most talented people in the industry, who have a strong sense of maturity and collaboration, not just in my immediate team but cross functionally as well. I love that we don't sit in silos and that so many people across different teams make an effort to get to know each other and help each other. This is the first place I've worked at where people want to work together to solve problems and not just try to put their own stamp on something. More broadly, Slack as a whole has a strong sense of empathy when it comes to working with each other. We celebrate each others wins and encourage each other to do our best work in a very constructive way. I also value the energy this company puts into designing learning and development programs so I not only feel I can continue to learn in my own role, but also learn in areas that I don't have experience with and explore various career paths.

Cons

I would say these things are more of a "work-in-progress" than a "Con." Things move quickly but our processes sometimes can't keep up (specific to recruiting). We're working on making things more consistent, streamlined, and efficient but it'll take some time to get there. However, this is the case with most tech companies who are hiring at a fast pace.
